"It does," Zoe snapped. Cai looked at her, hurt. He wasn't implying that anything Danny said didn't matter; what he was trying to say was that he could handle it. He thought he could. Therefor he would. He would handle anything Danny needed him to. "Cai, I know we saw things, but visions are not the same as reality and just because you handled one doesn't mean you can handle the other. Danny - if you want him there then he should be there, but he shouldn't pretend like it's going to be easy."
